The tour then winds its way through the Village with discussions of the history of the Vail Valley, the founding of Vail mountain, the master planning of the Village, and the importance of site-specific art. The Town’s public art collection includes over 40 works ranging from painting, sculptures, murals, playground components, to site-integrated art.

The tour also visits the Ninth Annual Vail Winterfest Ice Theater exhibition presented with Triumph Partners. The coolest outdoor theater features film projection on a screen created from ice and sculpted oversized chairs and benches on the Gore Creek Promenade.
